Good call, Gary

That made me think. As I said, I'd put these nav buttons in a container. I checked my nav buttons container, complete with its set of buttons, and found I'd put:

Thisform.nOldRec = RECNO()

in the .click() of each, thus hijacking their native code.

Du-UH!

Thing is, though, in my defence, I made the classes years ago but this is the first time I've used the buttons stand-alone, asdescribed in my initial question.


>Assuming that mclNext::Click() is not the next method in the object chain, you might check for even a single space in the immediate parent class. That's almost invisible and will stop the calling chain.

Cheers
